=head1 NAME
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_pbe_pass
- generic KDF support functions
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/kdf.h>
int EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_pbe_pass(EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx, unsigned char *pass,
int passlen);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
These functions are generic support functions for all KDF algorithms.
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_pbe_pass() sets the password to the B<passlen> first
bytes from B<pass>.
=begin comment
We really should have a few more, such as EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_kdf_salt,
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_kdf_key (to be used by the algorithms that use a
key, such as hkdf), EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_kdf_md (same thing here).
=end comment
=head1 STRING CTRLS
There is also support for string based control operations via
L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl_str(3)>.
The B<password> can be directly specified using the B<type> parameter
"pass" or given in hex encoding using the "hexpass" parameter.
=begin comment
Just as for the function description, the strings "salt", "hexsalt",
"key", "hexkey" and "md" should be generically specified, and
supported by the algorithms that use them.
=end comment
=head1 NOTES
All these functions are implemented as macros.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
All these functions return 1 for success and 0 or a negative value for failure.
In particular a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not supported by
the public key algorithm.
